Post your best endings to the sentence "You know you use Linux too much when.."

(Yes, this is a random humor topic because I'm kinda bored)

Here are a couple I got off the top of my head:

When someone says "mount" you think about mounting your storage

You know your Registered Linux User Number better than your phone number

When you carry it around in your pocket on a USB key.

...and you keep a copy of DSL and Slax on business card cd's in your car, you know, just in case.

When you can't get to sleep because you have read the filesystem standards for *NIX systems and you are trying to figure out which body systems go into which directories.

It has happened.

And I do say "FSCK YOU!" in real life :/

You know you use Linux too much when you make a topic like this, showing that you do, in fact, use Linux too much. ;)

But I do like this one ;) lots of good ones.

You know you use Linux too much when you use terms like M$ and Winblows and think it's going to change something.

My mom's dog is named "Noodle." Yet when I here its name I hear "sudo nautilus." I need to get out more.

I can't wait to see B2Ks answer. I bet it involves apt-get.

You know you use Linux too much when your friends start to give you strange looks because you've just used the words "mount" and "gnome" in the same sentence - again!

You use this as a pickup line

"I want you to mount my hard drive baby"

When you write a howto about adding the necessary repositories to the sources.list so people can apt-get a girlfriend;)

When you see a noob trying to install stuff using double-click and you just want to shoot him:twisted: (you tell him the right way to do it but still want to shoot him:rolleyes: )

You know you use linux very much when you miss TAB all the time (even when you're at ww.google.com). And you wouldn't feel comfortable saying too much.

Everytime my dad gets me to fix his 98, I use straight DOS.

And I get sick of the lack of tab functionality.

When you feel like a stanger in a software store. You can't believe what people pay for software you don't need (all of that security and antivirus stuff) or have for free (pretty much everything else in the shop).

You know you use Linux too much when, if a friends windows machine locks up, you do <ctrl><alt><backspace> before trying <ctrl><alt><delete>

Aw, dead thread...

You know you use Linux too much when... The thought of creating a script that will scratch your head in all the hard-to-reach places crosses your mind.

Darn braids...](*,)

haha XD

when you type in :wq for almost any application and expect it to close.

when you attempt to tab-complete waaay too often.
